Russia denies involvement in Keir Starmer arson attacks after links examined by MI5

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called it 'ridiculous' speculation

A house currently rented out by the British prime minister in Kentish Town was targeted this month, as well as another property in Islington where he used to live, plus a car Starmer sold to a neighbour in 2024.

In response to a suspected Russian influence, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has now rubbished the notion, calling it "false, unsubstantiated" and "ridiculous".

There were no casualties recorded from the attacks.

Police arrested fashion entrepreneur Pochynok in the West London area of Chelsea.

All three have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday, June 6.

Scotland Yard refused to comment on the case, with sources at the Met claiming they are "keeping an open mind" regarding the attacks.

Meanwhile, a UK government source made it clear that the investigators are yet to "connect the dots" that would definitively put the Kremlin on trial.

This comes after Russian broadcaster Vladimir Solovyov malevolently addressed Starmer's 'coalition of the willing' with threats of World War III.
